Ribbon-cutting represents new beginnings for hospital district

The Tehachapi Hospital is now Adventist Health Tehachapi Valley. As of Nov. 1, Adventist Health officially took over the operations of the Tehachapi Valley Healthcare District facilities with a big ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of the old hospital. Adventist Health also will be in charge of the day-to-day operations of the new hospital once it's complete, along with clinics in Mojave and California City.
